OUR HISTORY
Discover the path we took and the milestones we reached along the way to become the Group we are today.
The Core
Late 19th century
Three pioneers of the Italian industry are born: Edison (1883), Montecatini (1888), and Fiat (1889)—industrial groups whose engineering divisions are at the core of the current Maire Group.
The Beginnings
1940s - 1950s
In the Netherlands and India, the companies Stamicarbon (1947) and ICB (1958) are born, with important technological and engineering skills.
1963
Giulio Natta wins the Chemistry Nobel Prize for the invention of polypropylene, thanks to the collaboration between the Polytechnic of Milan and Montecatini.
1971 - 1973
The Italian engineering companies Selas Italia ( 1971), which later became KTI, Fiat Engineering (1972), formerly the Construction and Plant Service of the Fiat group, and Tecnimont (1973) within the Montedison Group were born.
The Growth
1983 - 2003
Fabrizio Di Amato launches his entrepreneurial project. Over the years, through a process of internal growth and acquisitions, the Maire Group is consolidated.
The Acquisitions
2004 - 2007
Maire makes key acquisitions with Fiat Engineering (2004) and Tecnimont (2005), thus consolidating the Maire Tecnimont Group, which was listed on the Milan Stock Exchange since November 2007.
2008 - 2010
The Group expands internationally, completing the acquisition of Tecnimont ICB in India (2008), the Dutch company Stamicarbon (2009), and Technip KTI (2010), today KT - Kinetics Technology.
The New Era
2011
The Group's turnaround: parallel to the recapitalization, the Top Management is reorganized, and a business repositioning plan is launched together with a deleveraging program.
2013 - 2017
A new phase for business growth: the Group opts for a technology-driven strategy in the field of hydrocarbon transformation, while gradually adopting renewable energy production and green chemistry.
2018 – 2020
The beginning of a journey towards green acceleration: the newborn company, Nextchem, becomes the group's focal point for green chemistry and energy transition. Meanwhile, the acquisition of MyReplast Industries and the creation of MyRechemical strengthen the Group’s position in plastic upcycling and waste-to-chemical technologies.
2021
The launch of the Evolve Maire Tecnimont Foundation, whose mission is to drive engineering towards a more humanistic future. Taking its cue from an historical heritage of immense value, the Foundation's activities respond to the vast environmental and social needs of our times and the digital revolution.
